Season

Official monitoring occurs during the bathing season. Classification is reviewed annually in May before the bathing season begins.

Water Quality

Classified as excellent quality based on monitoring samples collected from 2012–2015. Water is regularly tested for E. coli and enterococci indicator bacteria. Risk of cyanobacteria bloom is low; risk of phytoplankton bloom is low.

Risks

Kelstrup Bæk stream outlet lies immediately west of the beach and carries elevated fecal bacterial levels during rainfall; swimming is discouraged during and after heavy rain. Risk of macroalgae (seaweed) wash-up exists. Glass and litter can occur. Risk of chemical pollution is very low. Sudden pollution from boats, slurry tanks, or sewage pipes is possible.
